Application i'led July 23, 1921. Serial No. 487,032.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known 'that l, PETER CUNNpnN, a citizen of the United States,residing at j N ew Rochelle, county of TWestchester, State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tumbler Tashers, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to devices for washing tumblers, and has for itsobject to provide an integral device embodying both an interior and anexterior spray for the tumblers, the latter being capable ofmanipulation by the operator to wash with a comparatively small spraythe entire exterior of the glass. l

This object l accomplish by formingthe exterior spray device with aflexible element, whereby it may be manipulated by the hand of theoperator to project the water against any portion of the exteriorsurface of the tumbler.

My invention also embodies certain minor details of construction, ashereinafter more definitely will be pointed out and claimed, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is aperspective view of my improved device.

Figure 2 is a detail vertical sectional view of the tumbler support.

Similar numerals of reference denote corresponding parts in the twoviews.

In the said drawing, the reference numeral 1. denotes a vertical watersupply pipe having a coupling l adapting the same for attachment `to afaucet, the latter being shown at 3 in dotted outline. Fixed to thelower end of the pipe l is a horizontal pipe f2, upturned at its outerend and screwthreaded to receive a pan 4, which is adapted to supportthe tumblers to be washed. This pan is provided with a plurality ofapertures at 5 to drain the same, and has a central upwardly projectingrounded hollow chamber 6 with the interior of which the pipe 2communicates, as shown in Figure 2, said chamber being provided in itsupper surface with a plurality of apertures 7 for the escape of jets ofwater, in a manner readily understood. Tapped into the side of the pipe2 is a pipe 8 extending first horizontally and then vertically to oneside of the pan 3, said pipe 8 being bent in U- form at its upper end at9, and having attached to its free end a :flexible hose l0, preferablyof rubber, to the lower end of which is attached a rose 11.

From the above description the operation of my device will be understoodas follows :-A tumbler l2 to be washed is positioned inverted upon thepan 4, as shown in Figure l, and the water turned on at the faucet 3,thereby supplying water to the pipe l, the same' escaping in jets at 7.It will be understood that the capacity of said jets 7 is less than thesupply through the pipe l, thereby maintaining a plenum of pressure insaid pipes l and 2, which will force a portion of the water up the pipe8 and cause it to discharge at the rose 11. The operator, bymanipulating the flexible pipe 10 and rose 1l can direct the externalspray to any portion of the glass, thereby very rapidly cleaning theexterior surface thereof, the interior surface being thoroughly washedby the jets 7 in the chamber 6, as readily will be understood.

It will be seen that the pipe l, which is adapted for ready attachmentto and detachment from an ordinary faucet 3, forms the sole support forall the parts of the device, thereby not only adapting it for use withthe ordinary kitchen sink, but presenting the same as an integralarticle of manufacture.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

A tumbler washer, comprising a tumblerreceiving pan, a water supplyypipe connected with the bottom of said pan and supporting the same forsupplying `wafer to the interior of the tumbler when positioned invertedin said pan, a flexible depending water supply pipe disposed above saidpan for discharging water directively against the exteriory of thetumbler, a U-shaped pipe to which said flexible pipe is attached at oneend and which has its other end tapped into said pan supply pipe, and acommon supply pipe adapted for attachment to and detachment from a waterfaucet and connected to said pan supply pipe, said faucet supply pipeforming the sole support for said pan supply and flexible pipes.

ln testimony wherof I hereunto aiiix my signature.

PETER CNN EEN.
